The ministry further reported that its operatives were able to apprehend the individuals associated with this network.

The primary objective of this espionage network was to gather sensitive intelligence from Iranian authorities, specifically targeting information on individuals traveling to and from Iran.

The network focused on individuals holding significant positions within government departments or having access to crucial data in key institutions.

According to the ministry's statement, the arrested agents aimed to exploit the collected information by transmitting it to the foreign intelligence service responsible for their activities.

Iranian authorities were able to locate and apprehend these agents within Iran after careful identification of their whereabouts.

It is common for Iranian authorities to conduct operations targeting spy networks within the country, often attributing the activities to the zionist occupation regime. (ILKHA)
